He was a good tough fighter, but not the unstoppable monster people hyped him to be. Sparked an undersized guy in Stevens, decent win. Dropped Jacobs and got a tough decision, quality. First Canelo fight I think he won.
But the second fight made him look bad imo. Talked so much **** about standing toe to toe, Canelo does exactly as he asked , and what ? He looked scared hiding behind his jab, afraid of Canelo’s counters. The body shots hurt him. Looked really uncomfortable.
Not really a fan of either tbh, just my two cents. Guy could have been more but now his whole career+legacy will revolve around Canelo. A shame.
Yea I think it was bad because he’s on the downslide now and his fights probably won’t be that great. He’s 37 for christ sake. Who gives an athlete 100 million dollar contract at that age ?
I think the weight classes are pretty good. A lot more divisions means there aren’t guys who get stuck between and don’t really fit in any weight class. Like Jerry Quarry, who would be a cruiserweight today but had to fight HW monsters.
